- Any problems with reducing the minfree value on a 1.3gig drive
- down to 2% or 3% from 10%? It seems a shame not to be able to
- access that extra 100+ MB.
-
- The "tunefs" man page says, "..the minfree value can be set to
- zero, however up to a factor of three in throughput will be
- lost over the performance obtained at a 10% threshold." Why?
